Very quickly, Ah Jiu and Bai Xiaobai understood what Wufu ant by getting him out.
Cesarean section!
Bai Xiaobai’s eyes widened: "Are you crazy!"
Childbirth should be natural, how can you cut open the abdon to take it out, that’s cutting into a person, what’s the difference from murder?
Moreover, this person is already dead, to cut into her body is disrespecting the dead, she is her own mother, heaven will punish you!
"Wufu, if the body is incomplete..." Ah Jiu spoke with difficulty.
"I’m not crazy!" Wufu looked at Ah Jiu and said, "It’s just a cesarean, it’s not about an incomplete body. After the incision, you just sew up the wound. In our place, this is the most common surgery."
As she spoke, she felt a bit of regret. If she had perford a cesarean back then, could she have survived instead of delaying for the sake of her marriage?
"Sew it up?" Bai Xiaobai’s lips trembled, is that like sewing clothes?
"dical practice shouldn’t be limited, we must dare to try, otherwise how can we have progress?" Wufu looked at him calmly; "Moreover, the person is already gone."
The surgeries of later generations were all done by those who dared to withstand the pressure of the world and were willing to be the first, which led to dical advancents.
If everyone thought they couldn’t operate, how could there be dical advancents, how could there be surgeries?
Bai Xiaobai fell silent.
"There’s no ti to lose." Wufu said: "Bai Xiaobai, you’ll assist . I’ll do it myself, Ah Jiu, you go out and call in Jadeite to help , have soone prepare hot water, and invite Old Imperial Physician Xu over."
Seeing her determined expression, Ah Jiu nodded.
Very soon, the people were summoned, and Wufu had already loosened Madam Zhou’s clothing to expose only her abdon.
When Old Imperial Physician Xu and Jadeite heard that Wufu wanted to perform a cesarean section, they were shocked, but they didn’t voice any opposition. Old Imperial Physician Xu being a physician himself thought if this really worked, it might save many won and children from difficult births in the future.
As for Jadeite, whatever the lady said, she would do.
The room was lit bright as day, warm, but Bai Xiaobai felt a chill, a cesarean section, sothing truly unheard of.
Wufu first knelt in front of Madam Zhou’s body and kowtowed three tis before standing up, picking up the most suitable knife from a row of arranged blades, a glistening Butterfly Knife.
"Old Imperial Physician Xu, the location of the uterus and acupuncture points in the body, you are most familiar with them, please point out the most precise spot to make the incision." Wufu looked at Old Imperial Physician Xu and said.
Old Imperial Physician Xu pursed his lips, pointed to a spot, opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Wufu took a deep breath, recalling scars from cesarean sections she had seen in future generations, then thought about the human anatomy and subcutaneous tissues, steadied herself, and made a vertical cut with the knife in her hand.
Madam Zhou, though deceased, had not been dead long, and as soon as this happened, blood gushed out, everyone’s face changed with shock.
Wufu remained externally calm, but her heart was pounding. She was no doctor, and this was her first ti doing this sort of thing, how precise the incision had to be to open the abdon without harming the fetus inside depended on luck.
Taking a dry cloth to dab the blood, thankfully the person was already dead, so the blood didn’t flow much more, and soon the subcutaneous tissue, abdominal muscles, and fascia were visible.
Wufu took another deep breath and had Jadeite pass hooks and such, pulling apart the abdominal muscles, seeing a small head wrapped in the amniotic sac, her heart jumped violently with excitent.
